File a police or cybercrime complaint immediately with all available proof (photos, messages, calls). Blackmail is a punishable offense under Indian law. Protect the person by avoiding further contact with the blackmailer. A lawyer can help you send a legal notice and ensure the matter is handled confidentially.
